  • James Reeb.When Uus and Justice Meet
    1 Part I. Introduction: When UUs and History Meet In the summer of 2006, while I was a seminarian at Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago, I had the opportunity to join the recently retired Reverend Gordon Gibson, his wife Judy, and thirty fellow UU ministers and ministers-in-training, for a tour of the deep south. Gordon named it a Southern Civil Rights Tour. In the mid-1960s, Reverend Gibson’s first ministerial call was to the UU church in Jackson Mississippi. During the years he and Judy lived and worked in Mississippi, they had the opportunity to meet and work with many of the leaders of and participants in the Civil Rights Movement who had been every degree of activists, some since the 1950s. Many of these men and women had grandparents who were slaves, and parents who grew up in the post-Civil War South and the reality of Jim Crow. Every black person we met, including our bus driver Joseph, were ‘foot soldiers’ during those turbulent times. All generations of local residents marched, were arrested, were chased by the KKK, were beaten and even killed, but they never gave up trying to register at their local courthouse so they could vote. Our 8-day itinerary would take us to Nashville; then to Birmingham and the 16th Avenue Baptist Church where we attended the Sunday service with folks who were there on April 29, 1963, when the four elementary school girls were putting on their choir robes for church and were suddenly blown apart by a KKK bomb; to Marion Mississippi (the childhood home of Coretta Scott King); to Selma and

  • Freedom Movement Memories by Peter Kellman
    Sunday, February 8, 2015 Freedom Movement Memories by Peter Kellman It will soon be 50 years since I took a bus to Selma, Alabama. I was 19 years old. A few months earlier I had moved to an old farm in Voluntown, Connecticut, which was run by a peace activist organization called the New England Committee for Non-violent Action (CNVA). CNVA’s focus at the time was stopping the War in Vietnam. I was sent out with others to speak and protest against the War. I was sent down to Washington to organize demonstrations when the bombing of North Vietnam by our government began. On returning from Washington, CNVA received a call asking for people to go down to Selma, Alabama. As part of Voting Rights organizing project in Alabama, Jimmie Lee Jackson, an SCLC organizer, was murdered by a state trooper on February 18, 1965. Following Jimmie Lee Jackson’s murder a call went out (mainly to clergy) to come to Selma to help give visibility to the struggle there. A march from Selma to Montgomery to protest the slaying of Jimmie Lee Jackson was called. One who answered the call was Unitarian minister named James Reeb. The march, known as Bloody Sunday, took place on March 7th. A few days later, Rev. Reeb was beaten in downtown Selma and died March 11th. Another call went out for people to come to Selma. CNVA responded by sending me. I was given bus money and asked to go to Selma and represent CNVA. On the way down I was told to stop in New York City to talk to Bayard Rustin and get some advice about going south.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION This study guide is designed for teachers as a companion to the Pepsi Edition of the documentary Eyes on the Prize. Divided into eight segments, the Pepsi Edition is two hours long, considerably shorter than the original version of Eyes on the Prize. The teacher, using this guide with the Pepsi Edition, can present to students a balanced rendering of the major events of the civil rights movement between the landmark years 1954 and 1965. The first section of the study guide is devoted to what came before the advent of the modern civil rights movement, from the landing of the first slaves in Louisiana to the entrenchment of Jim Crow in the South. The subsequent sections of the guide, with three case studies, are devoted to the eight segments of the documentary Eyes on the Prize. Each of the eight sections includes: Synopsis Chronology Glossary Quotes Questions Two copies of Glossary, Quotes, and Questions appear in each section. One copy, with the list of questions, is to be copied and handed out to the students. The second copy, with the list of questions and (suggested) answers, is for the teachers. The Quotes and Questions often touch on the same points, and it is best to select Quotes for one segment of the documentary and Questions for another, etc. The events described in Eyes on the Prize are recent history. To be sure, we live in the aftermath of a political revolution that has no equal. But if Jim Crow is dead, his legacy lingers. I was reminded of this in February 1994.
